Description
..........as in 'time' for your swimming lessons, Toph. XDI got the idea for this from a multitude of fanfics revolving around the theme of Sokka teaching Toph how to swim, or to stay afloat. Here, things started out okay until Toph's leg brushed up against some seaweed. Naturally, without anything solid for her superhuman awareness to confirm what it was, and her aquaphobia not being of much help, she freaks out thinking it was a tentacle from an "octo-shark" (BTW, Happy Shark Week guys. XP) pulling her under, while Sokka "tries" to calm her down.
Funny thing is, aside from this pic, I've been complimenting other "tokkaneers" on they're work, while I myself am a huge fan of these two, haven't contribute any work. So luckily, I've managed to get this done just in time for this years tokka week, and in time before the next season of Korra comes in.

LOL! I forgot Toph is afraid of water (either that or she's too scared to swim)!

To be fair to her, this is how both myself and my cousin react to seaweed touching our legs, and we're not blind...

But is she afraid of swimming? Or being clean? lol

I think it's more of swimming then cleaning.
She'll pick her toes clean and will agree to a lite bath now and then (like probably once a month XP). But try and make her swim in at less 1ft. of water, and she'll act like it's the end of the world. XD

Octoshark's aren't as unlikely an occurance in the Avatar-verse... but they're still better than massive Sea Serpents.
Beautiful artwork, love the imagery and the idea.

Yeah, pretty unlikely.........but Toph doesn't know that. XP
Much thanks.

No I'm saying they ARE likely given how the Avatar-verse has so many mix-n-match critters.

Like I said, she does have a case of aquaphobia. Especially when there isn't anything or anyone isn't there to guide her.

I'm just sort of amused to see her being the spaz for once.
